Today we remember…
In honor of the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire and the launch of our Triangle Fire Memorial Design Competition, in the days leading up to the week of announcement of the final design winner, we will remember each of the 146 men and women that died in the fire. Please consider donating to the memorial fund and entering the competition.

Centennial 1911-2011

In concert with individuals and participating organizations across the country, the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition supported the creation of commemorative events — activism, education, art — for the historic 2011 Centennial.

Who We Are

The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition connects individuals and organizations with the 1911 Triangle Factory Fire — one of the pivotal events in US history and a turning point in labor’s struggle to achieve fair wages, dignity at work and safe working conditions. Outrage at the deaths of 146 mostly young, female immigrants inspired the union movement and helped to institute worker protections and fire safety laws. Today, basic rights and benefits in the workplace are not a guarantee in the United States or across the world. We believe it is more vital than ever that these issues are defended.
